Streamsong Resort to Host the NXXT Faldo North American Championship
A 120-player international field at Streamsong Red, December 29-31, with every division champion earning a place at the Faldo Series Asia Grand Final in Vietnam
BOWLING GREEN, FL - November 10, 2026 - NXXT Golf and Streamsong Resort today announced that Streamsong will host the NXXT Faldo North American Championship, the flagship event of the NXXT Faldo Junior Tour, December 29-31, 2026, bringing junior golf's rising stars from across North America and around the world to one of the game's great stages.
Championship golf on Streamsong Red
The championship is a 54-hole, no-cut stroke play event, ranked by the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) and the Junior Golf Scoreboard, played on Streamsong Red. One of the most highly acclaimed and widely pursued courses in the game, Red opened in 2012 to Best New U.S. Course honors and stands alongside Streamsong Blue and Black, the Coore and Crenshaw, Doak, and Hanse and Wagner designs that have made the resort a bucket-list destination and the equal of the finest golf venues in the world.
The field is capped at 120 players across four divisions, Boys 16-19, Boys 12-15, Girls 16-19 and Girls 12-15, with a champion crowned in each.
An international field and a pathway to Vietnam
The event builds on the junior invitational Streamsong has hosted in recent years and elevates it onto an international stage. Players earn their place through five qualifying pathways across North America, including the NXXT Faldo Junior Tour, the IJGA College Pathway Series, the Junior PGA Tour of Canada, the Georgia PGA Junior Tour and the North Florida PGA, alongside resort and tournament committee invitations. They are joined by a group of 2025 Faldo Series Grand Finalists drawn from a global network spanning more than 37 countries, giving the championship a genuinely international field.
Each division champion earns an exemption into the Faldo Series Asia Grand Final, played in April 2027 at Laguna Golf Lang Co in Vietnam, placing the winners on the same pathway that has helped launch the careers of major champions and world number ones through Sir Nick Faldo's junior series.
Streamsong is one of the world's great golf destinations, and there is no better stage for our flagship championship. We are giving the next generation a world-class test and a real international pathway, from across North America and more than 37 countries to a place at the Grand Final in Vietnam. That is the standard we hold ourselves to, and we are proud to build it alongside Streamsong.

The Faldo Series now reaches across the world, with world-class finals in Asia at Laguna Golf Lang Co in Vietnam and in the Middle East at Al Ain in Abu Dhabi. Working with our North American partner, NXXT Golf, I am thrilled to add Streamsong as the North American stage on that pathway. Streamsong is a magnificent venue, and I look forward to welcoming the champions who emerge there to our Asia Grand Final in Vietnam.

Beyond the competition
The week is designed to match the stage. Alongside championship golf on a bucket-list venue, a Drive, Chip and Putt competition on the practice-round days adds a fun challenge for the field, part of a first-class experience that has made Streamsong a destination for the finest junior fields in the game.
Qualifying continues through December, with the NXXT Faldo IMG Academy Florida Challenge, December 11-13, the final opportunity to earn a place in the field. Full details and registration are at nxxtgolf.com.
